In addition to this crush ing-1 and alinost incalculable debt, the PreSident preposes to purchase all the sla4s in the Somhern States. 1, Let us addl their cost to the debt already entailed upcM the people and see where! we will stand when ernancipatiofrissaccomplished. Under Mr. Lincotif proclamation of eman ; cipation, should it go into effect, and shotild it be operative in fact, thei number of slaves.to be emandifiated will be about 3,1,000, divided as follows: Mebane, 43.3,' 32; Arkansas, 111,104; Florida, 00, 7;:y3 ; Georgia, , 402,232; Louisiana, 333,010; Mississippi, 1:30,096; North Car olind, 331,081; South Carolina, 402,541 ; Teniessce, 275,781; Texas, 180,082; Eastern Virginia, :;7:;,000. The natural increase since June, 1860, the date of the con.;l .4 s, will probably make the aggregate number 3,500,000. The average value of thesOnegroes. may be placed at three bun } dreci dollar; each, which would Make total , :ivalue 0f51,050,000,000.

Is it not a historical fact that, from the date of their success in the election of Mr. Lincoln, their Democratic opponents have sunk all party distinction, and unanimously joined. heart and band, in endeavors to crush this unprovoked rebellion, freely contritating men and money to uphold the integrity of the Vnion and the Constitution inviolate. Dare a Union army face their rebeliiou. countrymen in warlike strife but for the preponderate force of Northern De mo . crats that swells its ranks? az witness the bloody records of the ensanguintd battle field; the numbetless ivictims promiscu ously crushed into one common grave, whose crowded corpses now moulder in congregated putrescence; the widows and orphans mourning the premature fate of their natural protectors, and the desolate hearths left by those martyrs in defense, of their commor)eountry and its institutions. But ; is it any wonder every true patriot. should be disgusted and tired with the ab ortive and vacillating attempt of the de structives to carry on the war to a success ful:lnd speedy conclusion? After eighteen months patient and passive concurrenco in its policy, lest finding fault with its measures might frustrate plans for a glori ons termination, the Democrats have been silent, until forbearance becomes a crime: acid they now seek, in the ballot box, a remedy against the intrigues of unprinci pled, incompetent politicians, gorged to repletion with public plunder, while their rapacious greediness is still unappeased. That Mr. Lincoln is a well meaning man I . freely admit, but that he is the right man in the right place I utterly deny. Nevertheless, he has been constitutionally placed in his present elevated position and it is the duty of every good citizctfto recognize his authority during his pre scribed term, but the members of his Cab inet have no such claims to officiol per manency, and when the result of their measures so. palpably betrays theh, i u:t pacity to perform the duties he lu-s as signed them, the Democratic par ..% hon estly and constitutionally seek the i•x pul sion of such imbeciles, whose innuno•roble blunders, whether proceeding from politi cal aspirations, pecuniary speculations or natural incompetency, have made us the surprise and laughing stock of the civilized world. What hoots it what poi icy is contemplated, or what measures are in embryo, when public confidence in their source is totally destroyed? The result of the past augurs badly for the success of the future: then why vhould the dread' td disarranging plans concocted by such lirtrins deter any lover of his country from t)L• constitutional exercise of his franchise according to• his honest convictions, undo: mayed by the stop thief cry of those who would prolong the war to keep their hands still in the public crib and pocket the profit s, and thus, by the election of competent tin a. restore our distracted count I v to Ler fanner proud position amongst the rations of the earth. Had patriotism, instead of black Republicanism preponderated iii the last Congress a just compromise would be effected, unnatural bloodshed would be avoided, oppressive. taxation never known. and the United States would he still a. heretofore the envy of the Old World: 1, : ,t fanatics ruled the forum, and desolatinz war, with an irredeemable debt. are the bitter fruits of their. frictional machina tions. Let the Democrats then stick their creed, place a majority in the cent: cils of the nation and peace will swot crown their deliberations, not by a loonil iating treaty or disgraceful division, but by vigorous and warlike measures conque!i; the disaffected and once more estaliliobity our Union undivided-under the adtninb tration or one paternal government.

Statements of a Prench.Gentleman coming from Richmond. A French •gentleman, coming from Georgia, by 'way of Richmond, lett that city on Saturday last, October 4th, bringing with him some interesting details concern ing the spirit and operations of the rebels in the various parts of the country through which be passed. On his way from Atlanta to Richmond he saw the country people enlist- for the war, indicative of a strong national feel ing and of the sense of the perils to which the Confederacy was exposed. As to those who showed a reluctance to muster, they were compelled by force of the public opinion, and sometimes by physical com pulsion,to join the others. The senti ments expressed in his presence were in dicative of the immutable resolution to conquer the independence of the South or perish in the conflict. In some places the planters are gather ing the crop, consisting chiefly of corn and potatoes,. which they had sold to the gov erarnent to feed the army during the win ter. The provisions already accumulated were deemed more than sufficient for that object. He further states that gold in Richmond commanded 125 per cent. premium. 1. Sini.sy, of Gosport, Niagara county, found that bathing the eye three times a day in cold watter produced the removel crf a film over(the eye of his mare, and perfectly resto ed the sight in two months.

Mr. Editor—l 'ant,Agaiti constrained to notice the.ttrislCii:ds with which the organ of the negro race daily teems. The Ga zette, in its Evening Edition, just handed me by a Republican friend, contains figures. amounting to $450, charged to my', account. The larger figure I Cully ex plained more than a year ago, in reply to Foster, of the Dispatch, who. called atten tion to this contemptible matter. I may as well remark again that when Messrs. Williams and Geyer were at Harrisburg, on a mission to have an act passed to pre-. vent the Judges of the Supreme Court from dragging men for (assumed) contempt from where the offense was committed to a diiitant point for sentence. The County ComMis6ioners were taken more than three hundred miles by the Court, (which the editors of the Gazette fully aided and abetted. Mr. Williams remarked that the papers of Pittsburgh were the worst ene- miss the people of our county had.) This Court confined in the jail the chosen offi cers of the county for obeying the desire and will of the tax-payers, out of which Sheriff Graham made a very nice sum of Money to fill his coffers—and if so pure and holy, why did he pocket the people's finds to enrich himself at the expense of those who were doing an honest duty to the public? Mr. Williams having failed to carry the bill, left' the seat of govern ment in disgust. I remarked that, if he would remain we could get, the bill r2con sidered and pass6l. Mr. Geyer desired me to do so, and they would see that the expenses should be paid. I immediately appleid to two men of their own political :.tamp, remarking that they should be re munerated. They got the act -passed and I telegraphed to Mr. Williams instantly., Some time after the Legislature adjourned these persons wrote tome,charging ::,;;'250 for their services. I called the attention of the Commissioners to the fact, when the Commissioners, by their clerk, drew. warrant, taking my receipt for the sum. which was sent to the parties in interest This, then, is the whole of the transae tioll. The other :i4200 I received for cx penses. going to Philadelphia and New York three different times, at the request of the County Commissioners to negotiate the Railroad bonds, with power of attorney for so doing, which power I have now in in ) ,For the truth of this I refer to Messrs: Brauff, llamilton and Collier, gen tlemen of veracity (not your mendacious scamps who would turn any way forpaltr office as eau he found about the - traitor sheet the Gazdte) and had the plan negotiated by the Committee been carried out in good faith the tax-payers would have been large ly the gainers, for we could have had the matter flied for sid vent; on the dol. lar with live per cent interest, and now the tax is levied on. the 'whole sum with six per cent. interest. which the peopl e caneot pay. Yet this has been brought about by the Tom Marshall (so called) re form Lill, that in my opinion, like the alio litioeists themselves, requires reformation.

The Louisville Journal publishes the following plary . or increasing the supply of coal in the South, now getting very low : "It is known that, owing to the scarci ty of miners in the coal regions the price of coal has been greatly enhanced. The complaint has been for some timq that the miners had all enlisted, and that to pro cure laborers to dig the coal was an im posibility. Coal dealers, therefore, in view of this emergency, have advanced the market price to such a tivre that to pro cure fuel for ordinary purposes is burden some to everybody, and to the poor is now, and will be the coming winter, ex• ceedingly oppressive. The families of those who have gone to• the wars could not afford to pay live and six dollars fur one load of coal, or a proportionate rate for wood. It therefore behooves the gov ernment to make provision for this erner gency, and it is gratifying, as we learn from the Cincinnati Empire?) that they have,.under consideration an important ' movement, looking to a relief from this oppression. It is suggested that the Gov ernment provide for the transportation of all contraband negroes within the Federal lines, between Cincinnati and Memphis, of whom there are many hundreds now lying idlf and drawing their regular rations from.the United States. These contra bands could be conveyed to the mines and put to work at one dollar per day, so that before the - fall rise in the river a sufficient quantity of coal Could be dug to meet the demand, and at rates even less than last time to winter's quotations. There is no lose if this arrangement is carried into ef fect, and Major - General, Wright, the eili ; cient, and able Commaniter of this I )epart ment, will lime performed (lir our-West ern citizens an untold b6uhfit when he shall , have caused this new inoifernent to bees ecuted, Colonel Schimmellennig, of the Sev enty-Fourth Pennsylvania, who comman ded the First Brigade at the battle of Bull Run, and who has since that time been re tained hi the same position, has been re commended for the post of Brigadier Gen eral by his superior officers , for thp bravery and good generalship esplayed al the battle.

This questi, n troubles a good many people immensely; and the present sittins of the colored population, alter this war has cnded, is a question that admits of different opinions. The solution of the apparent difficulties surrounding this question is not so perplexing now as many people imagine. It the ruling race is disposed to deal justly by the inferior and subject masses of the people of color, much of the seem ing difficulties which fAlviron the subject will disappear at once, and light will break in upon the national vision. Some free States have constitutional provisions which .prohibit tree colored men from coming into their territory ; others have made laws to that effect. Am. Tins I-; ARSCRII AND WICKED.
